We're here! Thank the Lord. We are all safe and sound (and maybe a little sore from sitting so long today!) Nobody sick. Nobody lost. All our luggage arrived.
The flight from Atlanta was delayed for luggage, then a bunch of planes trying to take off but we got in the air about an hour late. There was a little turbulence on the flight but otherwise okay. The end result was that we didn't leave the SAP airport until about 1 p.m.
The drive turned out to be interesting too. Because of the HolyDay, there was a lot of traffic. Some of the nice motorcycle police decided that to keep things safe they would escort traffic for about 20 miles (too bad it was at about 20 mph). Then a traffic jam in Cumoyagua had us take the 'shortcut' to La Paz and..... So, the 3 hour drive ended up being a little over 4 and 1/2 hours. (So after sitting in airports for 3 hours, planes for 6 hours and 4 hours on a bus, well.....)
The extra time did let us buy a 14 slices of watermelon ($3) and then pineapple ($1) and a final stop for some cookies and water.
Just got the Internet working after a couple issues. (10:21 p.m. EST)
We were greeted when we arrived with a special banner for Abuleta (Grandma Audrey) and then the other children carrying both the Honduran and American flags. We had lots of hugs from the kids and then unloaded the bus.
We had a great supper tonight of chicken empanadas in the restaurant. After supper, we were entertained with a medley of spanish and english songs including Amazing Grace and How Great Thou Art.
We then did get some things unpacked and ready for the Easter Egg hunt in the morning. There is rain in the area so we probably won't make the 3 a.m. walk through town.
Well, my brain (and my bottom) need to go to bed. We are all looking forward to celebrating Easter here tomorrow! May the Lord bless your celebration and worship!
